Villarreal 2- Real Betis 1
By: Javier | October 4th, 2008Wow. I’m not even going to lie. The first half of the game I was actually bored, not because of the football being played, but by the lack of chances we had to score. Yes, we had good possession of the ball but not once did we get a nail biter that troubled the keeper. If anything Betis had us for the open chances. I’m not too surprised, considering our defenders were sleeping half the time when they rushed their forwards.
Damia’s goal wasn’t exactly class, but it was a good goal. He beat our last line of defenders sleeping on the job and went in for the one touch goal. Not even a bullet, and Lopez still doesn’t mange to keep it out. Whatever, as you can tell. I’m pretty pissed off at this goal. It could of been stopped in so many different ways. I know we underestimated Real Betis, but seriously just letting your guard off the striker? I don’t give a shit if its Villarreal vs some shitty American MLS team, it just takes being careless to allow such a goal.
We had enough, 2nd half, and Javier Gonzalo puts a header from Dios (God) into the top 90. Not only does this guy have a badass name (hah), he heads a brilliant header to tie the game 1-1. Not to shabby, only to get another goal not even 2 minutes after the one Javier Gonzalo scores. Llorente is in the box after the two crosses going in and just smacks it straight into the goal. No chance from ither the keeper or defenders of Real Betis.
The game ends with a final score of 2-1 Villa. Not to bad of a turnout, aside from the lack of defending on that first half/goal. IMO if Capdevila was in, it would of been 2-0 no problem. Oh well, at least he’ll be ready for the next matchup against Espanyol.

That’s your style. But the cream rose to the top in the 2nd half. I think you guys were a bit tired from the CL fixtures.

Yeah I would figure so. That would explain how we benched 3 of our starting XI players. The end result I guess is what really matters. I was oddly quite upset after the first half aka when I wrote most of this post haha.
